Freedom Song Lyrics - Fighting - Thin Lizzy

Listen while I tell you the hard luck story 

About a man named Jack McDuff 

He believed in the God and the glory 

But he just wasn't tough enough 

I believe in the freedom song 

Long live liberty! 

I believe in the freedom song 

But I'll choose my own destiny 

Well they took him and they beat him 

Underneath the old hangin' tree 

Saying, Jack, you must die 

What will your last words be?

Jack, he hung his head back 

Long live liberty! 

I believe in the freedom song 

Doesn't matter what you do to me 

(Instrumental) 

With a rope around his neck they left him hanging 

High on that old hangin' tree 

On her knees his wife was screaming 

Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy

I believe in the freedom song 

Long live-a the liberty! 

I believe in that freedom song 

Doesn't matter what you do to me
